As long as I find the foundation of a shade that goes with mine, that's enough. Big mistake. A makeup base is not limited to even out skin tone. Nowadays - and, above all, if your age is around 40, year up, year down -, you can benefit from bases that are authentic anti-aging beauty treatments.
Difficult to find them? Not at all. You just have to make sure that the brand is a consolidated firm within the world of makeup, which will offer you a full guarantee. That is to say, if your skin is mature, look for your anti-aging base in a perfumery, supermarket or department stores , such as El Corte Inglés or Sephora, where you will find the most prestigious and recognized brands.
Of course, if your skin is sensitive or you are a fan of dermocosmetics, the pharmacy will be your best choice (these points of sale have been our salvation for more than one beauty product during the quarantine: dyes, creams, makeup …). And, of course, if you are an irremediable online shopper, there are platforms such as Amazon or beauty firms and stores (such as Lookfantastic), which sell at the click of a button and where you can find a multitude of references for all tastes and needs.
What should I take into account when choosing my anti-aging makeup base
Simply, "listen" to your skin and give it what it is asking for:
- Skin is combination-oily. If during the days of confinement you have seen that acne tendency has been accentuated with the appearance of pimples and more shine, yes or yes you should bet on a mattifying base, which contains absorbent substances, such as clay. And remember not to lower your guard with facial cleansing, to eat healthier again –as you did before– and balance your skin with purifying masks.
- Dry Skin. Surely apart from noticing tightness (especially if you have sensitive skin), you see your tone duller. How bad is stress and insomnia! More than one is noticing how these days of confinement have taken their toll on her skin. In your case, choose a base that is especially fluid , with highly hydrating ingredients that provide luminosity.
- And what do we do with sagging? If you notice that your facial oval begins to lose definition, take advantage and, at the same time that you equalize the tone of your skin, reaffirm it with a lifting effect tightening base.
- The spots begin to make an appearance. Well, that means your anti-aging foundation should be a little more covering or include lightening ingredients. There are foundations that not only camouflage stains, but also help prevent their appearance thanks to their formula. Of course, here it is very important that you have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Do you want to know the treatments that celebrities do to eliminate spots and gain more light?
Now that you are clear about the needs of your skin, team up with the best anti-aging makeup base for you, the one that will help you hide defects, yes, but also take care of your skin to reduce years. In the next gallery you will find real pearls. By the way, it is also very important to accompany the base with the most appropriate makeup products so as not to appear older. It is about taking advantage of ourselves, not about damaging our look.

Have you heard of "makeup non makeup"? It is wearing makeup, but achieving a natural effect as if you were not wearing it. Total naturalness, although not entirely true … This goal is achieved by many celebrities thanks to the No Makeup Foundation Serum by Perricone MD, which has become an essential in their toiletry bags. Among her unconditional fans are Jennifer Lopez and Hilary Duff. It is not a makeup base as such, but a treatment-serum with color,that melts into the skin and is applied after the moisturizer. It is very light and the result is that of a healthy face with a slightly matte finish. To put a but, it is not exactly cheap, but if we get the result of the red carpet celebs, it can be a very good investment, right?
